I can’t think of Jeremy Bentham without thinking of his clothed, mummified body sitting on display after all these years and how un-utilitarian it is.

I have no intention of expanding my pov about whale slaughter in the 21st century, and the rest of the world is in nearly-unanimous agreement.

Actually, my argument was merely that you were correct in your declaration of “strawman” with regard to killing humans and killing dolphins being comparable, but in the opposite direction. All this other stuff like “stance” and “right” and “allowed” and “morbid” is projection coming entirely from you. I would venture perhaps you have a guilty conscience.

Drawing an arbitrary line beyond which a behavior is considered “reprehensible” by its practitioners can serve to legitimatize the general behavior by creating a pretense of ethical boundaries, such as when even the SS generals were “sickened” by the medical experiments carried out by the Japanese, or how the Mad Hatter would never do something crazy like put mustard on a broken watch but lemon was different.

We’re talking about dolphins being of super-human intelligence, and you bring up pigs, granting that they are of sub-human intelligence, and claim parity? You, my friend, could not have devised a more classical example of a strawman if you tried.
“Animal” is an arbitrary, anthropocentric philosophical distinction unless you mean animals in the biological sense, in which case humans are included.

I just find it interesting that the one time it was intensively documented just happened to also be the time it was frowned upon.

Dolphins are smarter than humans, so it is a strawman but in the other direction. Compare for yourself, the cerebral folds don’t lie:

Reply to TIL Charles Dickens had a talking pet raven named Grip, who terrorized his dog, buried valuables in the yard, and died eating "a pound or two" of lead paint. As a character in one of his novels, Grip is believed to have inspired Poe's famous poem, and is on display in a Philadelphia public library by jableshables
I find it ironic that the origin of “Baltimore Ravens” is likely lost on most people who are into that sort of thing.
